Colorado Authors Featured at Barnes & Noble BookFair Denver Saturday, May 2

Features an All-Star Lineup of Internationally-renowned Publishing and Marketing Experts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DENVER, CO – April  6, 2015—Twenty of AuthorU's award-winning authors and Barnes & Noble will present an all-day Book Fair. Colorado Authors who will be signing and chatting with visitors to the store include actress and author Mara Purl, one of the leading authors of women's fiction;  Carol Fenster, the pioneering author in gluten free cookbooks; Charles Fischer, multiple award-winning author in the young adult genre; Julie Griffin, children's picture books; and Dianne Maroney, fresh from appearing on the Meredith Viera Show. The much-anticipated BookFair event will be held May 2 at Barnes & Noble, 960 S. Colorado Blvd. in Glendale, Colorado.

The full day event will start at 9 am and continue until the store closes in the evening.

AuthorU Founder, Judith Briles, believes the May BookFair is an outstanding opportunity for the community to meet many of its outstanding authors. "This is an opportunity to meet so many authors who live and write in Colorado.  If you ask: Do you want to write a book? … 80 percent will respond, 'Yes.' Come meet authors who love to write; have been rewarded with book sales and book awards. Twenty of AuthorU's members will be there throughout the day."

Author Mara Purl said, "I am passionate about writing fiction, which I consider to be one of the most important avenues of expression. Fiction is a powerful lens through which we examine and understand our authentic experiences. But it was to be written well – with compelling language, coherent structure, and realistic dialogue – in order to reach its audience."

Dr. Briles further states, "Denver has garnered a great reputation for being the nation's hotbed for author entrepreneurs, and the Barnes & Noble Fair is the ultimate opportunity to meet so many authors who write in a variety of genres at once. And who knows, it just might be the spark that creates the next best-selling author!"
